Islamic Aid and Gulf States in Contemporary Crises
Provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of Gulf States’ foreign aid Describes the Islamic values of humanitarianism and the Islamic social welfare instruments used for humanitarian financing, including zakat, sadaqa and waqf Introduces new empirical evidence on the aid structures and project implementation of Qatar and the UAE in Syria Explores an innovative conceptual framework on Gulf States’ foreign aid analysis, which is applicable b…
Foreign Aid, Identities and Interests
The entanglement of domestic and geopolitical dynamics with the evolution of the aid strategies of the Gulf States is particularly evident in the Horn of Africa (HOA), where the regional competition for exercising influence has affected the modalities of humanitarian and development interventions. A comparison of the foreign aid given by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Sudan in the context of its political and humanitarian crisis duri…
Understanding Gulf States’ Foreign Aid
In this Special Core, the narrative of Gulf States as ‘emerging agents’ or ‘non-traditional’ donors in the international arena is challenged through a systematic conceptualisation of the variables that have shaped the development and implementation of their aid strategies. This approach combines Neoclassical Realism (NCR) and Constructivism while also problematising the application of International Relations (IR) theories to the Middle East and N…
Islamic Instruments for Refugee Financing
Considering the Islamic perspective on forced migration and displacement, along with the conceptual framework of Islamic social welfare instruments as tools for wealth redistribution to support those in need, this study explores the potential complementarity between Islamic and conventional financing in addressing refugees' basic needs and economic empowerment. Specifically, this research examines and compares programs implemented by the UNHCR Re…
Humanitarian exceptionalism and fluctuating solidarity
The 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza brought the humanitarian response into the spotlight, alongside the international community’s inability to deal with political obstacles in the humanitarian response. However, humanitarian interventions in the Gaza Strip and their effectiveness have long been debated by scholars and practitioners, even before October 2023, mainly from the perspective of Western donors, with little focus …
Qatar's foreign aid and political strategies in the Horn of Africa
The purpose of this article is to analyse the relationship between Qatar's foreign policy and foreign aid in the Horn of Africa (HoA), with a particular focus on Somalia. Since the 2017 blockade, the HoA has become increasingly important to Qatar's foreign policy and aid efforts, intensifying political and economic competition with other Gulf players. This research describes Qatar's foreign policy strategies and tools in the HoA from 2011 to 2021…
Qatar and the UAE in the Syrian early recovery
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of Qatar and the UAE’s foreign aid and compare them in the same context: the Syrian early recovery. Analysing data on projects financed as well as the geographical, sectoral, and channel allocation of aid, the article highlights crucial aspects of these two Gulf donors’ behaviours. To examine their modus operandi, this research focuses on the Syrian early recovery, in which these two Gulf Stat…
The use of zakat in the pandemic response
This article compares two Islamic organisations, a non-governmental and a national one, in their methods of collecting and distributing zakat, and analyses how they addressed the COVID-19 crisis with these funds in the period 2020–2021. The study examines Islamic Relief as a Muslim non-governmental organisation involved in humanitarian response, and the National Board of the Zakat Republic of Indonesia (BAZNAS) as a centralised national instituti…
